f9e86f4190 Remove CHILD_MAX
The CHILD_MAX macro in limits.h should not be there.  It claims to be the
limit on processes a user can own, but its value is wrong for that.
There is no constant value, but a variable resource limit (RLIMIT_NPROC).
Nothing in the kernel uses CHILD_MAX.

The proper thing to do according to POSIX is not to define CHILD_MAX at all.
The sysconf (_SC_CHILD_MAX) implementation works by calling getrlimit.

7729303469 Remove OPEN_MAX
The OPEN_MAX macro in limits.h should not be there.  It claims to be the
limit on file descriptors in a process, but its value is wrong for that.
There is no constant value, but a variable resource limit (RLIMIT_NOFILE).
Nothing in the kernel uses OPEN_MAX except things that are wrong to do so.
I've submitted other patches to remove those uses.

c09edd6eba avoid OPEN_MAX in SCM_MAX_FD
The OPEN_MAX constant is an arbitrary number with no useful relation to
anything.  Nothing should be using it.  SCM_MAX_FD is just an arbitrary
constant and it should be clear that its value is chosen in net/scm.h
and not actually derived from anything else meaningful in the system.

2a7326b5bb CONFIG_BOUNCE to avoid useless inclusion of bounce buffer logic
The bounce buffer logic is included on systems that do not need it.  If a
system does not have zones like ZONE_DMA and ZONE_HIGHMEM that can lead to
the use of bounce buffers then there is no need to reserve memory pools etc
etc.  This is true f.e.  for SGI Altix.

Also nicifies the Makefile and gets rid of the tricky "and" there.

8314418629 Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by default
Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves.  This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.

It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.

The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie.  to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE.  It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear.  Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

b5fab14e5d Add VM_BUG_ON in case someone uses page_mapping on a slab page
Detect slab objects being passed to the page oriented functions of the VM.

It is not sufficient to simply return NULL because the functions calling
page_mapping may depend on other items of the page_struct also to be setup
properly.  Moreover slab object may not be properly aligned.  The page
oriented functions of the VM expect to operate on page aligned, page sized
objects.  Operations on object straddling page boundaries may only affect the
objects partially which may lead to surprising results.

It is better to detect eventually remaining uses and eliminate them.

1) Don't hide struct shrinker.  It contains no magic.
2) Don't allocate "struct shrinker".  It's not helpful.
3) Call them "register_shrinker" and "unregister_shrinker".
4) Call the function "shrink" not "shrinker".
5) Reduce the 17 lines of waffly comments to 13, but document it properly.

5ad333eb66 Lumpy Reclaim V4
When we are out of memory of a suitable size we enter reclaim.  The current
reclaim algorithm targets pages in LRU order, which is great for fairness at
order-0 but highly unsuitable if you desire pages at higher orders.  To get
pages of higher order we must shoot down a very high proportion of memory;
>95% in a lot of cases.

This patch set adds a lumpy reclaim algorithm to the allocator.  It targets
groups of pages at the specified order anchored at the end of the active and
inactive lists.  This encourages groups of pages at the requested orders to
move from active to inactive, and active to free lists.  This behaviour is
only triggered out of direct reclaim when higher order pages have been
requested.

This patch set is particularly effective when utilised with an
anti-fragmentation scheme which groups pages of similar reclaimability
together.

This patch set is based on Peter Zijlstra's lumpy reclaim V2 patch which forms
the foundation.  Credit to Mel Gorman for sanitity checking.

Mel said:

  The patches have an application with hugepage pool resizing.

  When lumpy-reclaim is used used with ZONE_MOVABLE, the hugepages pool can
  be resized with greater reliability.  Testing on a desktop machine with 2GB
  of RAM showed that growing the hugepage pool with ZONE_MOVABLE on it's own
  was very slow as the success rate was quite low.  Without lumpy-reclaim,
  each attempt to grow the pool by 100 pages would yield 1 or 2 hugepages.
  With lumpy-reclaim, getting 40 to 70 hugepages on each attempt was typical.

ed7ed36517 handle kernelcore=: generic
This patch adds the kernelcore= parameter for x86.

Once all patches are applied, a new command-line parameter exist and a new
sysctl.  This patch adds the necessary documentation.

From: Yasunori Goto <y-goto@jp.fujitsu.com>

  When "kernelcore" boot option is specified, kernel can't boot up on ia64
  because of an infinite loop.  In addition, the parsing code can be handled
  in an architecture-independent manner.

  This patch uses common code to handle the kernelcore= parameter.  It is
  only available to architectures that support arch-independent zone-sizing
  (i.e.  define CONFIG_ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP).  Other architectures will
  ignore the boot parameter.

396faf0303 Allow huge page allocations to use GFP_HIGH_MOVABLE
Huge pages are not movable so are not allocated from ZONE_MOVABLE.  However,
as ZONE_MOVABLE will always have pages that can be migrated or reclaimed, it
can be used to satisfy hugepage allocations even when the system has been
running a long time.  This allows an administrator to resize the hugepage pool
at runtime depending on the size of ZONE_MOVABLE.

This patch adds a new sysctl called hugepages_treat_as_movable.  When a
non-zero value is written to it, future allocations for the huge page pool
will use ZONE_MOVABLE.  Despite huge pages being non-movable, we do not
introduce additional external fragmentation of note as huge pages are always
the largest contiguous block we care about.

2a1e274acf Create the ZONE_MOVABLE zone
The following 8 patches against 2.6.20-mm2 create a zone called ZONE_MOVABLE
that is only usable by allocations that specify both __GFP_HIGHMEM and
__GFP_MOVABLE.  This has the effect of keeping all non-movable pages within a
single memory partition while allowing movable allocations to be satisfied
from either partition.  The patches may be applied with the list-based
anti-fragmentation patches that groups pages together based on mobility.

The size of the zone is determined by a kernelcore= parameter specified at
boot-time.  This specifies how much memory is usable by non-movable
allocations and the remainder is used for ZONE_MOVABLE.  Any range of pages
within ZONE_MOVABLE can be released by migrating the pages or by reclaiming.

When selecting a zone to take pages from for ZONE_MOVABLE, there are two
things to consider.  First, only memory from the highest populated zone is
used for ZONE_MOVABLE.  On the x86, this is probably going to be ZONE_HIGHMEM
but it would be ZONE_DMA on ppc64 or possibly ZONE_DMA32 on x86_64.  Second,
the amount of memory usable by the kernel will be spread evenly throughout
NUMA nodes where possible.  If the nodes are not of equal size, the amount of
memory usable by the kernel on some nodes may be greater than others.

By default, the zone is not as useful for hugetlb allocations because they are
pinned and non-migratable (currently at least).  A sysctl is provided that
allows huge pages to be allocated from that zone.  This means that the huge
page pool can be resized to the size of ZONE_MOVABLE during the lifetime of
the system assuming that pages are not mlocked.  Despite huge pages being
non-movable, we do not introduce additional external fragmentation of note as
huge pages are always the largest contiguous block we care about.

Credit goes to Andy Whitcroft for catching a large variety of problems during
review of the patches.

This patch creates an additional zone, ZONE_MOVABLE.  This zone is only usable
by allocations which specify both __GFP_HIGHMEM and __GFP_MOVABLE.  Hot-added
memory continues to be placed in their existing destination as there is no
mechanism to redirect them to a specific zone.

769848c038 Add __GFP_MOVABLE for callers to flag allocations from high memory that may be migrated
It is often known at allocation time whether a page may be migrated or not.
This patch adds a flag called __GFP_MOVABLE and a new mask called
GFP_HIGH_MOVABLE.  Allocations using the __GFP_MOVABLE can be either migrated
using the page migration mechanism or reclaimed by syncing with backing
storage and discarding.

An API function very similar to alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() is added for
__GFP_MOVABLE allocations called alloc_zeroed_user_highpage_movable().  The
flags used by alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() are not changed because it would
change the semantics of an existing API.  After this patch is applied there
are no in-kernel users of alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() so it probably should
be marked deprecated if this patch is merged.

Note that this patch includes a minor cleanup to the use of __GFP_ZERO in
shmem.c to keep all flag modifications to inode->mapping in the
shmem_dir_alloc() helper function.  This clean-up suggestion is courtesy of
Hugh Dickens.

Additional credit goes to Christoph Lameter and Linus Torvalds for shaping the
concept.  Credit to Hugh Dickens for catching issues with shmem swap vector
and ramfs allocations.

This is a patch that speeds up statfs.  It is very simple - the "overhead"
calculation, which takes a huge amount of time for large filesystems, never
changes unless the size of the filesystem itself changes.  That means we can
store it in memory and only recalculate if the filesystem has been resized
(almost never).

It also fixes a minor problem that we never update the on-disk superblock free
blocks/inodes counts until the filesystem is unmounted.  While not fatal, we
may as well update that on disk when we have the information, and it makes
things like debugfs and dumpe2fs report a bit more accurate info.

Change cancel_work_sync() and cancel_delayed_work_sync() to return a boolean
indicating whether the work was actually cancelled.  A zero return value means
that the work was not pending/queued.

Without that kind of change it is not possible to avoid flush_workqueue()

Also, this patch unifies both functions and kills the (unlikely) busy-wait

f5a421a450 rename cancel_rearming_delayed_work() to cancel_delayed_work_sync()
Imho, the current naming of cancel_xxx workqueue functions is very confusing.

	cancel_delayed_work()
	cancel_rearming_delayed_work()
	cancel_rearming_delayed_workqueue()	// obsolete

	cancel_work_sync()

This looks as if the first 2 functions differ in "type" of their argument
which is not true any longer, nowadays the difference is the behaviour.

The semantics of cancel_rearming_delayed_work(dwork) was changed
significantly, it doesn't require that dwork rearms itself, and cancels dwork
synchronously.

Rename it to cancel_delayed_work_sync().  This matches cancel_delayed_work()
and cancel_work_sync().  Re-create cancel_rearming_delayed_work() as a simple
inline obsolete wrapper, like cancel_rearming_delayed_workqueue().

608e261968 generic bug: use show_regs() instead of dump_stack()
The current generic bug implementation has a call to dump_stack() in case a
WARN_ON(whatever) gets hit.  Since report_bug(), which calls dump_stack(),
gets called from an exception handler we can do better: just pass the
pt_regs structure to report_bug() and pass it to show_regs() in case of a
warning.  This will give more debug informations like register contents,
etc...  In addition this avoids some pointless lines that dump_stack()
emits, since it includes a stack backtrace of the exception handler which
is of no interest in case of a warning.  E.g.  on s390 the following lines
are currently always present in a stack backtrace if dump_stack() gets
called from report_bug():

 [<000000000001517a>] show_trace+0x92/0xe8)

213dd266d4 namespace: ensure clone_flags are always stored in an unsigned long
While working on unshare support for the network namespace I noticed we
were putting clone flags in an int.  Which is weird because the syscall
uses unsigned long and we at least need an unsigned to properly hold all of
the unshare flags.

So to make the code consistent, this patch updates the code to use
unsigned long instead of int for the clone flags in those places
where we get it wrong today.

4b7775870b Introduce compat_u64 and compat_s64 types
One common problem with 32 bit system call and ioctl emulation is the
different alignment rules between i386 and 64 bit machines.  A number of
drivers work around this by marking the compat structures as
'attribute((packed))', which is not the right solution because it breaks
all the non-x86 architectures that want to use the same compat code.

Hopefully, this patch improves the situation, it introduces two new types,
compat_u64 and compat_s64.  These are defined on all architectures to have
the same size and alignment as the 32 bit version of u64 and s64.

77ec739d8d user namespace: add unshare
This patch enables the unshare of user namespaces.

It adds a new clone flag CLONE_NEWUSER and implements copy_user_ns() which
resets the current user_struct and adds a new root user (uid == 0)

For now, unsharing the user namespace allows a process to reset its
user_struct accounting and uid 0 in the new user namespace should be contained
using appropriate means, for instance selinux

The plan, when the full support is complete (all uid checks covered), is to
keep the original user's rights in the original namespace, and let a process
become uid 0 in the new namespace, with full capabilities to the new
namespace.

acce292c82 user namespace: add the framework
Basically, it will allow a process to unshare its user_struct table,
resetting at the same time its own user_struct and all the associated
accounting.

A new root user (uid == 0) is added to the user namespace upon creation.
Such root users have full privileges and it seems that theses privileges
should be controlled through some means (process capabilities ?)

The unshare is not included in this patch.

Changes since [try #4]:
	- Updated get_user_ns and put_user_ns to accept NULL, and
	  get_user_ns to return the namespace.

Changes since [try #3]:
	- moved struct user_namespace to files user_namespace.{c,h}

Changes since [try #2]:
	- removed struct user_namespace* argument from find_user()

522ed7767e Audit: add TTY input auditing
Add TTY input auditing, used to audit system administrator's actions.  This is
required by various security standards such as DCID 6/3 and PCI to provide
non-repudiation of administrator's actions and to allow a review of past
actions if the administrator seems to overstep their duties or if the system
becomes misconfigured for unknown reasons.  These requirements do not make it
necessary to audit TTY output as well.

Compared to an user-space keylogger, this approach records TTY input using the
audit subsystem, correlated with other audit events, and it is completely
transparent to the user-space application (e.g.  the console ioctls still
work).

TTY input auditing works on a higher level than auditing all system calls
within the session, which would produce an overwhelming amount of mostly
useless audit events.

Add an "audit_tty" attribute, inherited across fork ().  Data read from TTYs
by process with the attribute is sent to the audit subsystem by the kernel.
The audit netlink interface is extended to allow modifying the audit_tty
attribute, and to allow sending explanatory audit events from user-space (for
example, a shell might send an event containing the final command, after the
interactive command-line editing and history expansion is performed, which
might be difficult to decipher from the TTY input alone).

Because the "audit_tty" attribute is inherited across fork (), it would be set
e.g.  for sshd restarted within an audited session.  To prevent this, the
audit_tty attribute is cleared when a process with no open TTY file
descriptors (e.g.  after daemon startup) opens a TTY.

See https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2007-June/msg00000.html for a
more detailed rationale document for an older version of this patch.

4f27c00bf8 Improve behaviour of spurious IRQ detect
Currently we handle spurious IRQ activity based upon seeing a lot of
invalid interrupts, and we clear things back on the base of lots of valid
interrupts.

Unfortunately in some cases you get legitimate invalid interrupts caused by
timing asynchronicity between the PCI bus and the APIC bus when disabling
interrupts and pulling other tricks.  In this case although the spurious
IRQs are not a problem our unhandled counters didn't clear and they act as
a slow running timebomb.  (This is effectively what the serial port/tty
problem that was fixed by clearing counters when registering a handler
showed up)

It's easy enough to add a second parameter - time.  This means that if we
see a regular stream of harmless spurious interrupts which are not harming
processing we don't go off and do something stupid like disable the IRQ
after a month of running.  OTOH lockups and performance killers show up a
lot more than 10/second

4a19542e5f O_CLOEXEC for SCM_RIGHTS
Part two in the O_CLOEXEC saga: adding support for file descriptors received
through Unix domain sockets.

The patch is once again pretty minimal, it introduces a new flag for recvmsg
and passes it just like the existing MSG_CMSG_COMPAT flag.  I think this bit
is not used otherwise but the networking people will know better.

This new flag is not recognized by recvfrom and recv.  These functions cannot
be used for that purpose and the asymmetry this introduces is not worse than
the already existing MSG_CMSG_COMPAT situations.

The patch must be applied on the patch which introduced O_CLOEXEC.  It has to
remove static from the new get_unused_fd_flags function but since scm.c cannot
live in a module the function still hasn't to be exported.

Here's a test program to make sure the code works.  It's so much longer than
the actual patch...

f23513e8d9 Introduce O_CLOEXEC
The problem is as follows: in multi-threaded code (or more correctly: all
code using clone() with CLONE_FILES) we have a race when exec'ing.

   thread #1                       thread #2

   fd=open()

                                   fork + exec

  fcntl(fd,F_SETFD,FD_CLOEXEC)

In some applications this can happen frequently.  Take a web browser.  One
thread opens a file and another thread starts, say, an external PDF viewer.
 The result can even be a security issue if that open file descriptor
refers to a sensitive file and the external program can somehow be tricked
into using that descriptor.

Just adding O_CLOEXEC support to open() doesn't solve the whole set of
problems.  There are other ways to create file descriptors (socket,
epoll_create, Unix domain socket transfer, etc).  These can and should be
addressed separately though.  open() is such an easy case that it makes not
much sense putting the fix off.

The test program:

#include <errno.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>

#ifndef O_CLOEXEC
# define O_CLOEXEC 02000000
#endif

int
main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
  int fd;
  if (argc > 1)
    {
      fd = atol (argv[1]);
      printf ("child: fd = %d\n", fd);
      if (fcntl (fd, F_GETFD) == 0 || errno != EBADF)
        {
          puts ("file descriptor valid in child");
          return 1;
        }
      return 0;
    }

  fd = open ("/proc/self/exe", O_RDONLY | O_CLOEXEC);
  printf ("in parent: new fd = %d\n", fd);
  char buf[20];
  snprintf (buf, sizeof (buf), "%d", fd);
  execl ("/proc/self/exe", argv[0], buf, NULL);
  puts ("execl failed");
  return 1;

1b0fac4587 dma-mapping: prevent dma dependent code from linking on !HAS_DMA archs
Continuing the work started in 411f0f3edc ...

This enables code with a dma path, that compiles away, to build without
requiring additional code factoring.  It also prevents code that calls
dma_alloc_coherent and dma_free_coherent from linking whereas previously
the code would hit a BUG() at run time.  Finally, it allows archs that set
!HAS_DMA to delete their asm/dma-mapping.h file.

c67ad917cb percpu_counters(): use cpu notifiers
per-cpu counters presently must iterate over all possible CPUs in the
exhaustive percpu_counter_sum().

But it can be much better to only iterate over the presently-online CPUs.  To
do this, we must arrange for an offlined CPU's count to be spilled into the
counter's central count.

We can do this for all percpu_counters in the machine by linking them into a
single global list and walking that list at CPU_DEAD time.

(I hope.  Might have race windows in which the percpu_counter_sum() count is
inaccurate?)

not possible to use it for boot time and process start time calculations then.
 Also, the uptime no longer increases during suspend.

I add a variable to track the wall_to_monotonic changes, a function to get the
real boot time and a function to get the boot based time from the monotonic
one.

ed4aaadb1a fix jvc cdrom drive lockup
Before calling init_hwif_default, ide_unregister gets lock ide_lock and
disables irq.  init_hwif_default calls ide_default_io_base which calls
pci_get_device and later pci_get_subsys tries to apply for semaphore
pci_bus_sem and goes to sleep.

Mostly, pci_get_device should be called when irq is turned on.

ide_default_io_base just needs find if list pci_devices is empty.

5c6af69abe fix alpha ISA support
isa_bus_to_virt() is still needed in a few places (lance.c, at least).  When
we switch the kernel to using -Werror-implicit-function-declaration, the lack
of isa_bus_to_virt() breaks alpha allmodconfig builds.

Add isa_bus_to_virt() and deprecate the ezisting ISA APIs, though it might be
better to define these functions as BUG(), since virt_to_bus/bus_to_virt just
do wrong things on a number of machines.

6193a2ff18 slob: initial NUMA support
This adds preliminary NUMA support to SLOB, primarily aimed at systems with
small nodes (tested all the way down to a 128kB SRAM block), whether
asymmetric or otherwise.

We follow the same conventions as SLAB/SLUB, preferring current node
placement for new pages, or with explicit placement, if a node has been
specified.  Presently on UP NUMA this has the side-effect of preferring
node#0 allocations (since numa_node_id() == 0, though this could be
reworked if we could hand off a pfn to determine node placement), so
single-CPU NUMA systems will want to place smaller nodes further out in
terms of node id.  Once a page has been bound to a node (via explicit node
id typing), we only do block allocations from partial free pages that have
a matching node id in the page flags.

The current implementation does have some scalability problems, in that all
partial free pages are tracked in the global freelist (with contention due
to the single spinlock).  However, these are things that are being reworked
for SMP scalability first, while things like per-node freelists can easily
be built on top of this sort of functionality once it's been added.

More background can be found in:

fc9a07e7bf invalidate_mapping_pages(): add cond_resched
invalidate_mapping_pages() can sometimes take a long time (millions of pages
to free).  Long enough for the softlockup detector to trigger.

We used to have a cond_resched() in there but I took it out because the
drop_caches code calls invalidate_mapping_pages() under inode_lock.

The patch adds a nasty flag and puts the cond_resched() back.

f0c0b2b808 change zonelist order: zonelist order selection logic
Make zonelist creation policy selectable from sysctl/boot option v6.

This patch makes NUMA's zonelist (of pgdat) order selectable.
Available order are Default(automatic)/ Node-based / Zone-based.

[Default Order]
The kernel selects Node-based or Zone-based order automatically.

[Node-based Order]
This policy treats the locality of memory as the most important parameter.
Zonelist order is created by each zone's locality. This means lower zones
(ex. ZONE_DMA) can be used before higher zone (ex. ZONE_NORMAL) exhausion.
IOW. ZONE_DMA will be in the middle of zonelist.
current 2.6.21 kernel uses this.

Pros.
 * A user can expect local memory as much as possible.
Cons.
 * lower zone will be exhansted before higher zone. This may cause OOM_KILL.

Maybe suitable if ZONE_DMA is relatively big and you never see OOM_KILL
because of ZONE_DMA exhaution and you need the best locality.

(example)
assume 2 node NUMA. node(0) has ZONE_DMA/ZONE_NORMAL, node(1) has ZONE_NORMAL.

*node(0)'s memory allocation order:

 node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA -> node(1)'s NORMAL.

*node(1)'s memory allocation order:

 node(1)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA.

[Zone-based order]
This policy treats the zone type as the most important parameter.
Zonelist order is created by zone-type order. This means lower zone
never be used bofere higher zone exhaustion.
IOW. ZONE_DMA will be always at the tail of zonelist.

Pros.
 * OOM_KILL(bacause of lower zone) occurs only if the whole zones are exhausted.
Cons.
 * memory locality may not be best.

(example)
assume 2 node NUMA. node(0) has ZONE_DMA/ZONE_NORMAL, node(1) has ZONE_NORMAL.

*node(0)'s memory allocation order:

 node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(1)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA.

*node(1)'s memory allocation order:

 node(1)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA.

bootoption "numa_zonelist_order=" and proc/sysctl is supporetd.

command:
%echo N > /proc/sys/vm/numa_zonelist_order

Will rebuild zonelist in Node-based order.

command:
%echo Z > /proc/sys/vm/numa_zonelist_order

Will rebuild zonelist in Zone-based order.

Thanks to Lee Schermerhorn, he gives me much help and codes.

18a8bd949d serial: convert early_uart to earlycon for 8250
Beacuse SERIAL_PORT_DFNS is removed from include/asm-i386/serial.h and
include/asm-x86_64/serial.h.  the serial8250_ports need to be probed late in
serial initializing stage.  the console_init=>serial8250_console_init=>
register_console=>serial8250_console_setup will return -ENDEV, and console
ttyS0 can not be enabled at that time.  need to wait till uart_add_one_port in
drivers/serial/serial_core.c to call register_console to get console ttyS0.
that is too late.

Make early_uart to use early_param, so uart console can be used earlier.  Make
it to be bootconsole with CON_BOOT flag, so can use console handover feature.
and it will switch to corresponding normal serial console automatically.

new command line will be:
	console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8
	console=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8
or
	earlycon=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8
	earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8

it will print in very early stage:
	Early serial console at I/O port 0x3f8 (options '9600n8')
	console [uart0] enabled
later for console it will print:
	console handover: boot [uart0] -> real [ttyS0]

96d7fa421e lib: add idr_for_each()
This patch adds an iterator function for the idr data structure.  Compared
to just iterating through the idr with an integer and idr_find, this
iterator is (almost, but not quite) linear in the number of elements, as
opposed to the number of integers in the range covered by the idr.  This
makes a difference for sparse idrs, but more importantly, it's a nicer way
to iterate through the elements.

The drm subsystem is moving to idr for tracking contexts and drawables, and
with this change, we can use the idr exclusively for tracking these
resources.
